It should be clear by now that bamboo toilet paper is sustainable. So you can be assured of your positive contribution to the environment. But what exactly are the advantages of sustainable toilet paper made from bamboo? By choosing sustainable toilet paper, you can experience personal benefits in addition to a green feeling with every toilet visit. It's a true win-win situation! Below, we have listed some notable advantages of using bamboo toilet paper.
Bamboo better than trees for toilet paper
I don't need to tell you that cutting down trees for a product you flush down the toilet every day is not good for the world. Yet we all do this, every day, worldwide. And for that, a lot of trees are cut down. The ecological impact of toilet rolls is enormous. Bamboo toilet paper, on the other hand, is not only soft toilet paper but also gentle on the environment.
Bamboo, on the other hand, is much better for making toilet rolls due to its renewable qualities. Bamboo grows incredibly fast. So fast that bamboo holds the world record for fastest growing plant on earth.
A bamboo stalk (of 30 meters) can be fully grown within 1 year. A pine tree takes 30 years and an oak tree even 80 years. By using bamboo for toilet rolls, you reduce the need to cut down trees for a product that is quickly flushed down the toilet.
The popularity of bamboo is rising, and forests are even being cut down for bamboo fields. That's why it's important to look at where the bamboo comes from and preferably have an FSC label for responsible forests on the products. This label ensures that the raw materials from which the toilet paper is made come from well-managed forests. By buying products with this label, you contribute to the protection of forests worldwide.
Ecological impact of bamboo toilet paper
Another advantage of sustainable toilet paper made from bamboo is that the plant is a grass species and not a tree. Bamboo therefore doesn't need to be replanted when harvested: it's a self-fertilizing plant. This saves a lot of water that would be needed to grow young seeds.
But what's even more impressive is that bamboo can grow without fertilizers or pesticides. This is due to the powerful natural antifungal agent Kun / Kunh. Bamboi® toilet paper is therefore completely free of added chemicals. Bamboi® is made from organic bamboo and thus biodegradable. It's not harmful to the environment after use because no chemicals enter water or soil.
Bamboo also scores high on carbon storage. Bamboo stores 35% more carbon and releases 35% more oxygen than the average tree. Moreover, bamboo has a storage limit. This means that bamboo needs to be cut down to convert carbon back into oxygen. We make toilet paper from the cut bamboo, full of stored CO2.
Bamboo also better for humans
Besides being good for the world, bamboo toilet paper also has personal benefits for the user. Thanks to the organic qualities of bamboo, our toilet paper is free from added chemicals and hypoallergenic. The paper is soft and suitable for sensitive skin. People who experience issues with chemical substances in products will have a good experience with Bamboi®.
Because the paper is biodegradable, it can be safely flushed in almost any toilet. But it also decomposes naturally in compost. So there's a suitable application for everyone!
